kingschild123: @phyla"Scraping" sounds like brake pad wearstrips - "grinding" sounds like thecalipers have gotten into the rotors. If itjust started you should be alright - donot continue driving the car withouthaving the brakes inspected and thenecessary repairs done. If calipers are into the rotorsexpect to pay quite a bit more. Lesson -pay attention - when the noise firststarts have your brakes inspected andpads replaced!There are brake pad wear strips on yourpads that are there to warn you whenthe pads are worn - when you first starthearing that noise the rotors are still OK- they are designed for that purpose - tokeep you from continuing to drive thecar until the calipers get into the rotors.

I have just change the pad and I still hear an increasing sound when the speed increases.although,the brake master guy said the brake disk isn't smooth as its suppose to be that they need to tone it.Am just been careful cos most of those guys are full of guess works.Have u any idea what could be wrong.Pls snd me ur email.Tanx

hello NL, i drive a nissan maxima 1996 model. of recent d car just start jerking while am driving. it does not have a definite time or speed but when stationary it does not. i have changed the fuel filter but was told it may be the fuel pump.

I just drove an automatic car for the first time I seem to enjoy it , but I an afraid with the story that it is difficult to move an Auto car the moment it devlop any problem e.g you can not push to start. Is it this true or is there any other way one can move an auto car while in no motion.

wen an automatic transmission car develops a fault eg b3 ran down, u cant push it to start like a manual car but u can put the gear on neutral (N) and roll the car to a safe place. except u change the b3, the car will not start.

Come on man this is 2013 and you are still allowing these folks to do trial and error on ur car?? go and scan your car and come back here with the codes and we'll take it from there, remember always scan your car as the first option if anything goes wrong with ur car, its like blood test a Doc carries out when a patiant arrives.

Hello All,I need help please. I use a 2008 Nissan Altima 3.5S engine. Sometimes in October this year on my way to Epe via Ajah, my transmission fluid pipe disconnected from the source and my car stopped like 10 mins after the LBS. I got it fixed but all my transmission fluid gone. Right opposite Abraham Adesanye estate i saw an auto centre where i got transmission fluid. I was duly told it would work for my car and it did. However about a month later my car was hardly engaging in gears. So i decided to buy the Nissan NS-2 fluid. Removed all oil, washed the filter and the new oil of about 8litres filled in. My car wont move into forward gear. Only reverse gear works. I need advice. Does this mean i have lost my gear? I need a very good nissan service centre and possibly a towing service to take the car there. Anyone with good infor and advice please?

Thanks bro. I will do just that and feedback asap. This is like the very 1st social media with a sense of sense.

Sup guys, earlier this month my mom gave me a Peugeot 504 car(I don't know the year of car but it should be around the 90's). The car still has its beauty but I think I want something better. Is there any possibility of getting a Honda or Toyota auto of recent time and at a good value of 2nd hand at a very cheap range of about 800k? am a student, that's why I don't have much to spend

I need (automatic transmission fluid) ATF+4 for my grand cherokee, please where can I buy it in Lagos/Benin/Asaba?, what is the cost for either 1 or 4 litres?, your swift response will be very much appreciated

Please I need your best opinions on this; I am considering getting an Infiniti I35 2002 or 2003. I read some reviews online about it, they seem to be positive. HOWEVER, I would like to know some facts about this vehicle - availability of parts in Lagos, ease of repair, reliability, fuel consumption, etc. I also notice that its not really a common vehicle in Nigeria despite its highly positive online reviews.

Contrary to what erico told you, you have lost your transmission.The atf you got from the auto shop and used for a month was NOT NS-2 and I am sure you know that.You are free to spend money wastefully on other attempts to fix this but hopefully you will go through my other posts and also explore the web to let you know I am sure of what I am saying.

Furthermore, please note that when you DO eventually get to change the transmission, the TCM's eeprom must be erased (re-programming) in order for it to work with your replacement or you'll be back looking for another replacement within 3 months.
